YWCA Encore

Encore is a YWCA registered Australia-wide program, conducted for women, by women, to assist those who have had breast cancer. Encore in NSW is coordinated by YWCA NSW, funded by NSW Health and supported by AVON.

YWCA Encore is an 8 week program designed specifically for women who have experienced breast cancer at anytime in their life. Incorporating gentle exercises, relaxation techniques, information and support, it is safe fun and therapeutic. The exercise program is specifically designed to target areas that have been affected by breast cancer surgery and treatment. Gentle, but effective exercises improve strength, mobility and flexibility whilst the warm water in the Cook and Phillip Park Aquatic and Fitness Centre hydrotherapy sessions relieve affected muscles. The classes provide an opportunity for women to share their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

Participation is free, is by enrolment only, and medical approval is required. Visit www.ywcaencore.org.au for more information or call Catarina Giuliana on 9285 6264.
